Even when we do not find easy solutions, we discuss, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said on Friday, in statements after meeting his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, who is visiting Athens.
We had an "initial and sincere discussion of a critical issue," noted the foreign minister.
Gerapetritis pointed out that "the problems of the two countries were not magically solved through dialogue," and underlined that there were also "difficult moments", but there was also a "direct and honest channel of communication."
He noted that the next round of discussions of the so-called positive agenda will take place in Athens on December 2 and 3, while he recalled that there have been six meetings between the two leaders and two rounds of talks on political dialogue and the positive agenda.
He also emphasised that the contacts between the two countries are acquiring a normality, as should be the case between two neighbours.
